Gut abgeschnitten » Well cut off

This one was so well cut off that even the stump is happy. 🙂

On a related note, for those of you who know it, let's talk about The Giving Tree. Uplifting book about being generous or the most depressing children's book ever written about a selfish little shit?

I couldn't understand why everyone didn't see that the kid was just exploiting this tree and leaving it for dead. I have no proof but I love Shel Silverstein and I genuinely believe that this was a subversive children's book. I don't think it was meant to be "happy" at all. It's depressing as hell.]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://pixelfed.social/p/Jess.Stetson/952561324086333890https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://pixelfed.social/p/Jess.Stetson/952561324086333890Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:38:37 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to #FotoVorschlag on Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:54:46 GMT]]>@Jess.Stetson Great pareidolia catch!

Re: “The Giving Tree,” I’m in the latter camp. It’s a celebration of resource extraction, glorifying nature’s “generosity” without addressing the need to TAKE CARE OF IT so that it doesn’t become a stump. Exactly the wrong lesson for kids to learn. They should all read “The Lorax” instead. 😡
